You don't need carbs to produce glycogen; protein will do just fine.<br /><br />Do some research. Carbs aren't necessary to life or we as a human species wouldn't be around today.<br /><br />Please show the studies to back up your claims - actual scientific studies, not scare tactics written by PETA.<br /><br />Read up on the science and the studies out there. They all prove that low carb is healthy - often healthier than low-fat.

WOW, these three years that I've been on low-carb losing nearly 200 pounds and I NEVER even heard about this?! OH NO, WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?! Perhaps I should go back to eating "normal" again since you say my body needs carbs. <br /><br />I can't believe I so willingly put my body at serious risk as you say, although I've never felt more healthier in my entire life. Strange!<br /><br />So what I need to eat is more fruits and veggies as well as multiple meals daily, eh? That'll keep my cholesterol in line, according to you? Oh, I'll really need to think about this for a good long time, Audrie.<br /><br />WAKE UP LADY! Do you REALLY think people who are livin' la vida low-carb haven't heard ALL of these pitiful excuses before?! We understand your fearmongering for what it is: a lack of knowledge and an ignorance about what "low-carb" actually entails.<br /><br />I've addressed each of these issues before at my blog, so please reference the following posts:<br /><br />- <a href=http://livinlavidalocarb.blogspot.com/2005/06/study-more-athletes-choose-low-carb-to.html>Low-carb and athletes</a><br />- <a href=http://livinlavidalocarb.blogspot.com/2006/07/purging-body-needs-carbs-ignorance.html>The "body needs carbs" nonsense</a><br />- <a href=http://livinlavidalocarb.blogspot.com/2006/11/study-long-term-heart-health-issues.html>The heart health myth</a><br />- <a href=http://livinlavidalocarb.blogspot.com/2006/10/survey-majority-of-low-carb-dieters.html>Low-carbers eat more veggies</a><br />- <a href=http://livinlavidalocarb.blogspot.com/2005/11/use-your-brain-whole-grain-craze-is.html>Whole grains aren't all that great</a><br />- <a href=http://livinlavidalocarb.blogspot.com/2005/12/low-fat-been-there-done-that-made-me.html>Low-fat diets failed me</a><br />- <a href=http://livinlavidalocarb.blogspot.com/2006/02/low-carb-cholesterol-concerns.html>Cholesterol health looks at HDL and trigycerides</a><br /><br />If you are GENUINELY interested in learning more, Audrie, then I suggest you start with those and do a little research before spouting off your mouth about something you OBVIOUSLY know little to nothing about. <br /><br />THANKS for sharing your comments and come back for another lesson soon! :)Jimmy Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08590225257991702645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12333976.post-66449970312693193882006-12-10T22:49:00.000-05:002006-12-10T22:49:00.000-05:00Low carb diets are dangerous, especially for athle...Low carb diets are dangerous, especially for athletes. Without sufficient glycogen in your muscles, your body will struggle to produce ATP (the energy molecule for all muscle actions). Athletes need carbs. YOU need carbs. Your body can not synthesize protein without glycogen. Glycogen comes from carbs.<br /><br />Maintaining a constant state of ketosis puts your liver, pancreas and heart at serious risk. <br /><br />Why not eat whole grains, fruits, veggies and low-fat meats and yogurts? Why not try eating small meals 6-8 times a day? <br /><br />Have you Atkins people had your cholesterol checked lately?<br /><br />Just something to think about...<br /><br />In health,<br />Audrieabbiapplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033213779132253625noreply@blogger.com
